This is a three storey, mid terraced, tile hung building of timber and brick construction under a hipped tiled roof, which is Grade II listed and believed to date back to the early 18th century. The offices are finished to a good standard, having previously been used by a firm of architects, and have a spacious feel with more headroom than might be expected from such a historic building. The premises comprise just under 425 sq. ft. of accommodation on the first floor, which benefits from Cat II lighting, carpeted flooring and data cable points, within two separate rooms. There are WC facilities on the first floor. On the 2nd floor there is an open plan office of just over 300 sq. ft. benefiting from LED light panels, carpeted flooring and plenty of data cable points, as well as a small kitchenette area.
